Of Course the Internet is Telling me the Truth!

Did you know, that 65% of people who are currently online believe anything they see or read on the internet? Did you also know, that the statistic I just mentioned was a complete fake? For all that it stands for, the Internet can give everyone some serious trust issues when it comes to authenticity. Though it gives people a voice that can be heard globally, this privilege creates a sort of truth out of false information. Do you believe everything you read or see online? I don't, and maybe people should think twice before deciding if the Moon can clone itself 37 times.


Some people believe in the most outrageous things, cats are liquids, Wi-Fi causes cancer, I mean I'm pretty sure that a little common sense would go a long way. One thing we can take away from all this is that the Internet is a powerful medium for information — information that people will believe with or without any authoritative punch behind it. Which is why people should be skeptical whenever they read something on the internet; Always question what you read. When you take the time to think about it in the long run, if it's too good to to be true, it probably is.
